Re: DIY Traction Control


This may not be aggressive enough, probably PI-control would be preferable and not oscillate as much
..
Right now my reaction is to disable traction control entirely. I think it would indeed be a good idea to disable regen in that case.


I've been testing same with ZombieVerter, best result with ...

Re: Lilygo T-Can boards for web UI


When using mostly with zombie I can't see all spot values, just for example I12 and current time values. What makes values to be shown?

Also I think I saw current CAN mappings in the beginning but now shows nothing. Tried to add one mapping which did not show up in UI, so I verified with OIC tool ...

I don't know how to put this to not sound quite wild, but... I'm pretty sure the Kempower charger I mostly test my car at doesn't connect PP, either at all or at least not during the actual charging session.

Is anyone familiar with VAG parts, cooling connections are Normaquick NW12 which is not so easy to find. VAG might have part number to connector by itself or hose with connector for sure. Maybe I haven't found good spare part diagram to find part number.

Precharge 306v sounds about right for 79% SOC.

Before this log I did long CCS on another station, I highly doubt car contactor fault. I'll check from logs where you found this 324V, so I can see is same jump problem with all Kempower stations, as I just posted one log and tried yesterday two ...

Re: QCA7000 Foccci+Clara User thread

Lightbulb! Looked into zombie oic logs when charge tests failed, it seems CCS_Ireq rises before actual power delivery and maybe some chargers does not like it. Earlier I did have set flash value of CCS_ILim lower and manually pump it up after charge process started.

So maybe need to watch for CCS ...

Is the problem that foccci/clara enables state C if it sees 5% CP even if the charger isn't talking a known protocol?
